Try using a socket, so that you can push the nut onto the stud evenly while you are turning the nut.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, The rear-most section of undertray broke on my car the other day. It looks like something might have struck it in the past so I guess it has done its job well. Anyway, I've got a new one from Porsche which wasn't too expensive and I asked for some new fasteners too. It is fastened with T25 torx screws and the 10mm plastic nuts. I can't get the plastic nuts to catch on the threads at all. Any ideas/tips? Thanks

POST 2Original post

Try using a socket, so that you can push the nut onto the stud evenly while you are turning the nut. If they aren't shoulder nuts (hence held at the tip of the socket), put a couple of nuts in the socket first to pack it out. Hope this helps.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

As ever Richard, thanks for the quick response. I've tried that and used a little electric driver I have too. I've now sprayed the threads of the lugs with some WD40 as they are understandably rusty. I think I need to wire brush them but I haven't got one! Off to the shops then......
